Yes it does make sense and it is a good idea.

I must admit I'm a bit of a combo box and list view=20
junky and I've often thought that a few extra methods=20
for these objects would make programming much simpler=20
(and more perl like, rather than "coping" with the=20
windows API). Up until a few days ago I didn't know=20
you could use the Text method to get the selected text=20
in a combo box =96 previously I was using GetString with=20
SelectedItem!

I think the first step would be to give more=20
information on the kind of thing you want to create.=20
I'm sure several people on the list can contribute=20
some ideas. If you end up with a set of methods, then=20
they could be added directly Win32::GUI, or=20
alternatively it could be a =91helper=92 package that=20
would be installed separately.

Hope that helps,

cheers,
